Dark Castle (Longplay, No Commentary) - Best of the Mac

[@Koettnylle]

I love this game. Whoever is playing this playthrough is super skilled. This game is HARD.

Great play! I remember struggling with this game as a 10-year-old on my Mac Plus. Still one of the best platformers ever made.

[@danielwarwick8086]

I was going to say this very same thing. Zero chance I was going to beat this at 10 years old. Finally got to see how it was done.

[@Koettnylle]

I have the exact same experience. And I agree this is one of the best platformers ever!

[@davidigra]

Spent so many hours with this and Beyond Dark Castle. It's so difficult unlike the games of today. The sounds and graphics were revolutionary! Played it on my Mac SE/30.

[@TieDef]

Awesome. I've always loved the aesthetic of this game, though the difficulty was crazy. I think how hard it was contributed to the mystique it had for me as a kid. Please do Beyond Dark Castle as well.

[@rosskwolfe]

Dark Souls is the Dark Castle of modern games.

[@naughteedesign]

this brings back so many memories, i actually beat this by going straight to the boss, no shield or the other thing, can't even remember... but i remember beating the boss without the other abilities and clearing each room before the gargoil comes in.

Those damn crows make me re-live childhood trauma.

[@scottwinfrey8250]

So THATS why this game was so astronomically ass on console. It was supposed to be played with a mouse

[@tvrtkozelic7153]

Mouse AND keyboard! Long jumps etc

[@scottwinfrey8250]

@@tvrtkozelic7153 I kinda want to try the old pc version now. Maybe I can get past the second screen.

They said "the port to the Genesis/mega drive will be easy! They use the same processor!" (the only differences are literally everything else)

[@ericjohnson6634]

Well, this does look marginally less unplayable than the Genesis/Mega Drive port. Impressive playthrough.

[@CSLucasEpic]

How many remember that the knight armor on display at the main room of the castle changes into a christmas tree if you play the game on December 25th?

[@EdiDrums]

Those crows remind of Castlevania, which I played on the GameBoy

[@jvshore7528]

Awesome flashbacks.

[@Tanukitsune2]

It's nice to see someone play this game without constant swearing. Did the shield make you invincible?

[@PlayDifferent]

It makes you invincible, but turns itself off after a few seconds. It also can't protect you from everything, such as the giant birds that drop you in the dungeon.

Great run

[@chubbuck35]

Is there a way to play this on PC today?

[@garrykim9098]

I used to curse incessantly playing this game.

[@tokega]

I fucking loved this game! It was so hard! :D

[@ZeroG]

To this day I still say "makememeh" when having sex

[@themidcentrist]

Of all the games they could have ported to the Genesis, why this one??? It may have been a perfectly good black and white Macintosh game in 1986 but the Genesis port came out in 1991 which was the same year Sonic the Hedgehog was released and this game would have been primitive by NES standards.

[@FadkinsDiet]

The Genesis used the same CPU as the classic macintoshes, so they thought they could make the port on the cheap. Unfortunately...

[@themidcentrist]

@@FadkinsDiet That explains it...

[@heatcankill3170]

cool i dont think i understood this game as a child.

[@austintayeshus1]
